Speaking at a media briefing yesterday (June 25th), Minister Abeywardena said that there is no truth to Mr. Tilvyn Silva’s statement which said that the Indian defence delegation arrived in Sri Lanka to urge the government to stop the war.Noting that the government will re-establish democracy in the North after it's liberation, he added that the government is prepared for talks if the LTTE lays down its weapons.
